Testimonials
I have instructed Ian Hawkins in the preparation of PODE reports over the course of many years.
I have always found Ian’s reports to be both thorough and set out in a way which makes them accessible to my clients. The reports are also provided in good time and for a reasonable fee. I highly recommend both Ian and Paul Gorman for PODE reports.

We are always very impressed when we instruct Southdown Consultants.
They are approachable and responsive and perhaps most importantly for us as practitioners, the reports they produce are made very user friendly. They are prepared in such a way that makes them easy to follow and to very quickly understand the key points. The turnaround time for reports is extremely good and they are always happy to assist swiftly with any queries.

Making sense of Pension reports associated with divorce can be very complex and time consuming..
Southdown Consultants have produced a report that is easy to understand and jargon free.
The reports are succinct and easily digestible. Clients now have a light to show them the way forward through this dark and complex maze.

My team and I regularly instruct Southdown Consultants to produce pension reports for our financial remedy on divorce cases.
We find their reports contain all the information needed but are presented in such a way that the clients find them straightforward to read and understand which is so important when dealing with such a complex area. Paul and Ian are both knowledgeable and approachable but also have the added skill of being able to act within Collaborative Law matters which has proved to be an extremely valuable tool when working within that process.
